Thanks for all your help but I have not been able to find
anything or get anything working with this game. It is
so frustrating that Microsoft does not have something to
fix this problem. I have tried litterally EVERY
combonation of the "program compatibility wizard" and
still NOTHING.. =(
I have also searched the internet for a few hours with no
luck on the problem. I have found it frustrating that
Microsoft has NOTHING on all the their website to address
this issue.
Thanks again for the help you did give...
Sincerely,
Kenny
